@lifeonavectorpath: A lot of people have been confused why I change my tension, so let’s talk about it! Understanding tension and how your machine works is a huge part of embroidery. Because let’s face it, half of embroidery is just problem solving why the machine isn’t doing what we want 🙃 #embroiderymachine #machineembroidery #embroiderytutorial #embroiderytips #embroideryprocess detailed walkthrough of how to create tension test strip on an embroidery machine and how to read it to find the best tension for your machine
I’m following this video but my icon on my machine to adjust the tension looks different it shows like this and when I tap it nothing happens so it won’t allow me to change the tension! Any idea why?

What thread would I use in the bobbin if I wanted a colored thread that matches the top thread? Don’t they need to be different weights?

What can be causing the fabric around a design to ripple? Do you think that is tension related or is it related to how tight the fabric is on the hoop?

Your videos are so helpful! I keep getting a knot under my stabilizer and stuck into machine. Do you think it’s tension related?

I think I saw you answer this on a comment but this is all dependent on the fabric correct? How do you decide what tension to use on a project in order to not mess it up?

In my machine settings it has the option to set a tension that I can set to like …. -2, -1, 0, 1, 2… I’m not sure what that’s for and what to set that to?!

Is the tension affected by type of stabilizer and/or type of fabric is used?

Are you supposed to check the tension on different colors or if you get all the same brand would they all be the same? I’m having trouble when I change colors in a design it seems like the tension needs to be adjusted. I’m very new and just learning through tutorials so it could definitely be user error.

Are those Brothread? My thread keeps breaking every 2 minutes and I’m not sure if it’s the top thread tension or actually the thread quality.
